if dame wins a championship i will be so happy. He is really just the epitome of putting the team on your back
Why do we act like Dame has been on the Orlando Magic his whole life? CJ Mccolumn was no scrub. If Dame was the epitome of putting a team on his back then he should’ve made at least one finals in his 12 year career

Somebody get him and Shannon on together. Lol the one-liners gonna be off the chain.
I was not a bucks fan and I was not a Blazers fan, but I’ve been a Dame and Giannis fan for about 6 years now. Long story short, I want them to win it all and dominate for the next 3 years.
Yeah they ain’t beating Denver so keep dreaming, Jokic the real MVP for the next 3 years.
@@Jrt91Bucks have a good shot against denver. Giannis is literally the best matchup in the league for jokic on both ends. If theres anybody that can match or slow joker its giannis and the team around giannis is better than the team around jokic. Id honestly take the bucks in a 7 game series

Am I though? More like a bandwagon if anything. Just rooting for them from a distance as my team stinks up the joint.
That step back was cold boy
"Since moby dick was a goldfish" Perk just be coming up with these sayings😂😂😂
This is probably the closest thing we’ve had to Shaq and Kobe since the early 2000s. Dominant big and a bucket getter (obviously Dame isn’t what Kobe was defensively). I’m
Hype to watch this duo play this year
If only Embiid was clutch and good in the postseason and James wasn't James lmao. 76ers TRIED it but with a much more dumbed down version for sure.
True, but on the flip side Shaq was not nearly as versatile as GA, but GA is every bit as dominant as what Shaq used to do.

@@robinshaul4069Well, 39 points and 17 for 17 at the free throw line 8 rebounds and 4 assists for his debut with the Bucks is pretty godlike in my book.
Bucks is high level basketball! The poise they got is crazy! And they got a heck of a coach
I think some Bucks fans are going to be pleasantly surprised to see how great Lillard really is. Everybody see's the highlights but coming from a West Coast late night team not everyone gets to see how great he is thru an entire game. Playoff time in the East should be pretty good this year.
Yup. I'm from Wisconsin and I knew Dame was a killer. But I didn't know how big dudes body count is. Like dude is John Wick out here slayin these fools

Milwaukee FINALLY has a legit CLOSER. But Boston still looks dangerous, especially if Porzingis can stay healthy. Big IF
as a Giannis fan, i am also worried.
Same thing when i was wprried when the Heat won the 8th spot.
Beating the Knicks by 4 moved you? Tatum’s had great rosters his entire career, he’s had nothing to show for. It’s going to be the Bucks Vs Heat in the ECF. I got a Bucks Vs Clippers matchup, unless the Heat make a trade.
Lillard is not good. He's a losing player and will continue to be, even on a loaded team. The Bucks will lose in the playoffs, and I'll be there to get in his face because I'm sick of all the attention he's been given for an underwhelming career.
@@VictoriesAtTheMarathonDenver, Celtics and the Bucks have the PERFECT TEAM 🤣.
Any 3 of those can WIN it ALL.
Lakers low-key when LBJ is PG 😅
Replacing Jrue Holiday with Damian Lillard is just what the Milwaukee Bucks needed.
The Bucks needed a shot creator to ease Giannis with running the offense
No perimeter d they let Oubre torch them, Embiid had a mediocre game, no harden. It took all 39 from Dame to win by 1 against a potential 5th seed in Philly
@@xprtsniper thank you. It's only 1 games and like you said it took all 39 from dame to win by 1. I don't believe the hype just yet until the Bucks made it to NBA FINALS, then I might believe them.
They actually won by 4 that last 3 was a prayer. And they went on a what 10 unanswered points down the stretch. Bucks didnt really have middleton all the way back (16 min) & giannis aint have his best game and they still have one more move to make before this season.
Philly isnt getting harden back nor do they need him. Kelly has always been hot n cold but I imagine once the harden move gets made he’ll get promoted to start and the philly bench should catch some depth.
Great take from Perk. Dame's shot creation and closing add life to the Bucks offense, and he's never been on a team this good.
Happy for dame he’s had to be that guy for so long. It’s surprising to see him in more laxed role. Hope everyone stay healthy. Love to see them make a push.
Man if Dame would have left Portland years ago he would have at least 1 ring by now
That’s facts I agree he should have left after they got swept by the warriors
He only joined the Bucks because he realized that he needs to market himself because he's irrelevant with all the young stars in the game. It's another money-driven move by a selfish player. The Bucks won't win a thing.
Smartest thing Kendrick has ever said
Hahahahah so true, I watch the UA-cam clips every day and it’s usually not well thought out and bullshit.
Today he comes out strong, spittin facts, spittin the truth. Goated 😂
Facts, especially when he brought up the fact that the Bucks core has already won a chip and Boston hasn’t
To think Miami really drop the ball this bad🤦♂️
Not like they didn’t try, they didn’t have the pieces to get Dame.. Herro and others aren’t worth Dame so it was going to be hard to get him
@@fyilando854dawg.. you see what they traded Dame to Milwaukee for?..
They had the pieces, Miami’s front office was just full of themselves.
By far the biggest ball drop in recent history! You don’t let a player like Giannis get a player like Dame! That shit is crazy lol
@@fyilando854they could’ve offered more tho they thought no team really had a better offer but they where terribly wrong. Heat got cocky and paid for it. The blazers have a bunch of young guards anyways so tyler hero wouldn’t do anything for them

Bucks barely lost anything in the trade so they’re still good Heat would’ve had to give up Adebayo which defeats the purpose of getting Dame
My two favorite players in the NBA are together! I can't believe it. Dame is smooth and effortless. Giannis is smashingly dominant.

As a Celtics fan we disown Perk, guy always picks against us smh
He hasn't learn nothing from his Jokic bashing. How did that turn out for him? 😂😂😂😂😂
If Tatum and brown were the duo everyone acts like then they would or had a ring by now 🤣 and to think with their super team this year they still won’t win a ring because they don’t have a closer. Tatum chokes
Perk has to be non bias that's why he always against the Celtics. He's a 🤡 tho lol
That is by far the best commentary I have ever heard from Perk.
The way Lillard hunts for fouls as well is gonna be a huge plus . He don’t miss from the free throw line . Smart offensive player .
He doesn't 'hunt' for fouls, it's more like he takes a beating on his drives and shots. So sometimes he has to initiate things. But he doesn't do obvious stunts like Harden or Paul does.
Hes attacking fearlessly and always trying to finish the shot.
Hes looking for tge and1 or 4point action not just the foul shot
If Giannis and Dame decide to take over any 4th quarter, its over for whoever is the opponent.
STraight up just imagining him towering over me with that large thang swangin, how could you sue him for that? Id be very submissive #freehoward
No lol. The refs took over the fourth. It’s overrated for sure
😂😂😂😂😂😂,heat gotta huge bench of young guys to run circles around old man dame😂😂😂😂😂
Let's be honest, nobody should give af about any of Stephen A's predictions because he literally changes his mind every other day.
He'll changed his mind through the season and he'll say the Celtics, Lakers, Nuggets, Warriors, Suns, Sixers, but since the Bucks beat the sixers and Dame scored 39 points he's picking the Bucks after just 1 game.
This takes ENORMOUS pressure off of Giannis. He can just play and be himself and let Dam Time close. That's it
Actually agree with everything on KP. Dame Dolla is now unleashed!
76ers are a pretty good team and to see the buck do this at such an early start with new adjustments and new members to the team is crazy. Well done dame.
The crazy thing is Giannis had a bad game and he still gave you like 20 and 10 with good defense, imagine when they both have it going, it’s wraps
Yes, because 23pt 13reb is a bad game, you 🤡s don't seem to use common sense, if Damian is on the court, Giannis is obviously going to make less pts.
I really hope Celtics Bucks matchup be fully healthy for both squads I’m a Celtics fan but I also believe the Celtics have more depth and more ways to attack if coach learn how to properly use the depth but it will be a great gane
Dame is a beast in the clutch and closing minutes that’s why the bucks brought him to the team. Loads of pressure let off Gainnis shoulders especially in the closing minutes of the games.
This is one gonna be of the most exciting years in nba history
The Miami Heat are gonna gut check everyone yet again.😂
We all forgot about Denver all the sudden ?
@oneskillpoint4669 Yup, but it fuels the nuggets so I will take it.
They only mention Denver because they have too🤣
Dame in a word greatness #fact
@@Just2GdTobiTrue I am a fan both but I will go with SGA he's a future MVP
Dame is your favorite player's favorite player. Dude is unbelievable
Why would you step away from the Celtics pick? The Bucks beat Philly by 1 point without Harden? Yeah Dame looked great but those two teams are neck and neck there really shouldn’t be a conversation until the Playoffs start.
You guys forget, Giannis did not play all summer because of his knee procedure, Midd on a 15 minute restriction, Dame didn’t play all summer due to trade, new coach and scheme, new pieces around core (still think Jae Crow should start at the 3, Midd at the 2), Cam Payne has to get acclimated as back up point, Bobby is on a minute watch since he played in the Olympics, Beasley trying to get his confidence right since the Flakers fiasco and Beauchamp still working on consistency and confidence! This is only the beginning! Embleed had his whole team except the no defense of James Soften! That’s why it was close, I’m just saying!
Just wanted to show SGA some love
SAS hasn't come on tv with original commentary in YEARS. Every brother is special and from that perspective
Bucks have themselves a Cold Blooded Finisher/Closer. That is HUGE! It's something they haven't had sin Ray Allen.
Giannis was a -14 last night. That's worrying hopefully they can work it out because winning by 1 point on a team with internal issues is worrying me as a Bucks fan.
Relax love. It's their first time playing together in a official game. There's going to be some ups and downs in the beginning, But they going to figure it out. In fact, the most important part is already figured out. Give Dame the ball when it's closing time, and get the f*** out the way.
Yeah but it's the first game bro; He was going against Embid. Still played really good tbh. Let's see down the road, but it's concerning
This game was about dame not Giannis he wanted dame to take over and be beast in his debut same as pozingas it's confidence booster because if you watched Lakers pre season they blitz dame Giannis had a free lane to the basket they won the game dame was not aggressive so now you defend dame because of this game you leave Giannis
When did people start caring about +- I played ball most of my life I haven’t heard about this until recently
That time of the year where we hear Perkins breathing all show
Middleton didn’t play the series Tatum dropped 40. When Milwaukee core is healthy, they win. Boston and Miami only beat them when they are hurt.
Glad you caught that, I thought I misheard Stephen A at first. Could be just a mistake by him, although the media does tend to use subtle tactics of misinformation like this.
So the bubble year when y’all was healthy nd a rookie herro took over that series ok lol not to mention we lost herro last year in the first game of the first round against the bucks nd still won the series
Haa Milwaukee was barely hurt with Miami fuck outta here with that shit
like how can Stephen A casually dismiss the fact Middleton didn’t play in that series and Bucks still took Celtics to 7
Dame showing y’all he really that dude..now he got a great supporting cast around him
Ima say it again. I never ONCE heard hall of famer and Jrue Holiday in the same sentence until the bucks traded him. People didn't even think he deserved to make the all star team last year. Which was only his second one. Now he's a hall of famer
Oh come on, the Bucks BARELY beat the 76ers WITHOUT HARDEN at HOME with Dame getting 17 free throws. Stephen A's original prediction of Celtics winning the chip is still sensible to me
I mean same could be same for the Celtics, they barely got by the knicks. Either way they both won which is what matters at the end of the day.
As a Portland native and watching Dame his whole career he deserves it y’all !!
It's crazy to see Middleton go from Batman to Alfred on this team - Perkins
SGA Future MVP💯👍
Bucks and clippers had the best opening night
Miami Heat punching the air right now 😊

There is nothing more that I want than for Dame to win a ring and I think they can this year, but the Celtics are all everyone is talking about and I'm never counting out the Nuggets.

These are the best athletes in the world and Dame just waltzing past them like nothing
My man Dame so glad for him. Let's go Dame.
Chuck/Kenny were right. Dame was looking like a 2k dribble head out there. He took some awful shots and some series he didn't even bother to pass. Once he fixes that they are taking off.
Idk how u can say “awful shot” and “dame” in the same sentence . The only ridiculous shot i saw him shoot was with the clock winding down . Other than that, any shot, he shoots is a shot you want from him
He won't fix any of that because he has a low basketball IQ and is about getting his stats. If I were his teammate, I'd confront him about those bad shots and the selfish play.
@@TLJohnsexactly. Dude can shoot from 35 to 40 out. How is anything a bad shot for him? He'd have to be behind the basket 😂
@@TLJohnsexactly. His range extends so far and his ability to hit contested shots at a high rate, makes every shot he takes a makable shot
@@TLJohns You clearly didn't watch th game. He drove and threw up some wild shots without even passing the ball once. A few times he did that. Kenny and Charles even called it out at halftime that he needs to realize he doesn't have to do everything and will soon learn he doesn't even need to bring the ball up court.
I say: Bucks, Nuggets and Celtics have the biggest chance to win. But we are missing some depth with the Celtics. Clippers and Suns are the biggest outsiders.
We shall see. Boston has a more balanced roster, but Tatertot and Brown are soft mentally and Dame is bullet proof up there. It really is exactly what the Bucks needed. I have more faith in Dame and Giannis then I do The Jays + porzingus.
Fr, Dame’s killer mentality, and Giannis is a n absolute murderer who put up 50 and 5 blocks in a finals close out game. That means a lot when considering Tatum and Brown are inconsistent mental weaklings.

When Dame got swept by Jrue and the Pelicans sure looked like he’s capable of being stopped.
The only concern for the bucks is can they do this consistently for 82 games. Not win them all of course, but to grow the team chemistry and face adveristy as a team. It always takes a little time for a superstar to find his rhythm with a new team, but this is only a slight concern as i have full faith in this team to go on a deep playoff run
Giannis and Dame look like they’ve already gelled. They look like a perfect fit already. It’s only going to get worse as the role players understand their roles
@@Wormholt As a Celtics fan Dame needs to have the ball in his hands in crunch time, Giannis can’t dribble and with how they’re officiating this season he’s not going to be able to just run over ppl come playoff time.

“I consider you a drumstick guy” lmfaoooo
Giannis played ok in this win. Once they get chemistry it will be tough to stop Giannis and dame. When they went up by 20 I think we will see them doing that to team consistently once they get it rolling. I don’t expect kelly oubre to keep shooting like he did
23pt 13reb he played great tf are you talking about, ofc Giannis is going to score less with Damian on the court, it's common sense.
@@oneautumnleaff2119 Im talking about the turnovers he was committing for one. And he wasn’t as efficient as he usually is missing some drives he would usually make and at times the offense was stagnant.

This is going to age like milk. Boston is the team to beat period. Getting trigger happy just because Dame has one good game is going to age like milk 😂💀
Yo glad to perk on again need to see alot more.
You see? THAT’S why the Milwaukee Bucks brought in Damian Lillard. To takeover and close games like that during the season. Easily can be a 55+ win team again with Dame + Giannis working together like they did last night vs Philly
Bucks also have some of the best up and coming talent in MarJon, AJ and Andre Jackson Jr.
Kendrick Perkins never fails to ruin my day

This the conversation I was gon search💯😵💫
"Since Moby Dick was a goldfish"
Uncle Perk 🤣
This gonna be a Great NBA season!
Call me crazy but I think we’ve reached the point to where regardless of how well AD plays, Jokic’s impact on the Nuggets would render him ineffective. AD at his best on the Lakers was when Lebron and Rondo were spoon feeding him buckets in 2020-21, with an occasional midrange and 3pt’er sprinkled in. AD isn’t that guy when it comes to 1v1 closing situations.
Let's be honest the problem with the bucks is health. With the exemption of the yr they won, they usually have some major injury that keeps one of their top guys out when it matters.
That's crazy they one by one point and they are going to win the championship
With 76ers don't sleep on Kelly Oubre Jr, I'm going with Bucks vs Warriors in the NBA Finals, with Bucks winning it in seven games. I think the Lakers probably will be Lebron have to carry this team especially in the end of games, Nuggets to me losing Bruce Brown is huge, I admit I was torn between the Suns or the Warriors going to the finals, I'm just not going to bet against Steph Curry , they add CP3 through trade, I like the addition of Dario Saric a big who can stretch the floor.
People are forgetting that he has been doing exactly the same over past 10 years in Portland. When you are in a good team, you got more exposure to the media.
ALL FLATS! THANK you Perk! 🤙🏾🫡🙌🏾
